The new film versions will no doubt be titled "The Four and Five Musketeers," because nobody knows what a Vicomte is, it makes it easy to tell them apart and it allows for the introduction of new characters -- mayhaps a lady Musketeer?

All eye-rolling aside, "Sherlock Holmes" was a fun piece of genre entertainment, and "The Three Musketeers" is a classic for a reason -- so there's hope yet for this.
